The communication between the school and the home is a potent stimulus to the academic achievement and social-emotional health of a child. It is able to change individual attempts into a supportive system, which is coherent and clear in the development of a young learner. At Kinder Ready Tutoring, we consider this a basic partnership, and not optional. We are based on a philosophy that is deeply rooted in the Elizabeth Fraley Kinder Ready approach, and we operate based on strategic collaboration, and we strive to arm families with the necessary abilities to establish strong and productive relationships with the teachers of their child since the commencement of their school life.
Successful parent-teacher communication is based on a proactive and partnership approach. Making calls when one is worried only builds a reactive relationship. Rather, Kinder Ready Elizabeth Fraley does not promote this but urges early contact to create a collaborative atmosphere. The positive start is ensured by a short introductory note at the beginning of the year, with a statement of enthusiasm and willingness to collaborate. This is in line with our tutoring model, where we build open communication pathways with the parents during the initial session and update them regularly, and offer insights into the progress and strategies of their child.
Another critical measure is to put more emphasis on the discussions about patterns and growth, rather than individual events. Instead of saying, Was he good today? But, which may be indistinct, parents may employ the knowledge of Kinder Ready Tutoring in drawing more specific, constructive questions. Comparison: We have been practicing perseverance in difficult activities. Have you become aware of any classroom strategies that assist her in the classroom? Or “Why is he using the reading comprehension skills we are using? This method is based on Elizabeth Fraley Kinder Ready’s emphasis on the whole person. It refers to the child as a learner who will develop, and the parent and teacher as associated observers in the direction of the shared interests.
Moreover, communication can be worked out through active listening and mutual problem-solving. The aim of a teacher to be concerned is not to be on the defensive, but to cooperate. Parents will be able to use the insights that we have received through our tutors to make a positive contribution. One of the replies could be, Thanks, I must have noted that. We can observe the same tendencies at home, and our tutor has proposed to us such an approach. Would it be possible to attempt the same in class? This is an example of partnership, a desire to be consistent and apply the specialized knowledge of Kinder Ready Tutoring to the advantage of the school environment.
Finally, effective parent-teacher communication serves as the point of contact, which makes sure that nothing halts the learning process of a child and makes learning and functioning in any possible environment possible. Those strategies that are encouraged by the Elizabeth Fraley Kinder Ready philosophy include the active involvement, discussion of growth as-you-go and collaborative problem solving; this allows parents to be knowledgeable and effective partners. These conversations would become more strategic and effective with the insights and developmental language adopted in Kinder Ready Tutoring to form a continuous circle of support, which would enable all young learners to succeed with confidence.
